ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book sets the scene with a history of the field and provides a theoretical framework and research-based theory. It covers research methods used for intuitive interaction research and showcases a variety of recent findings in intuitive interaction across a diverse range of contexts. The book examines case studies of intuitive interaction theory and recommendations applied to actual products and interfaces in various contexts in the real world. The book showcases much of the state-of-the-art work in this field, so that the reader has a full picture of how to define and understand intuitive interaction through research. And shows how it can be best applied to a great variety of products, interfaces, environments, and more. The book presents the first work done on intuitive interaction and the well-known Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).
